Garden of Remembrance is the second collaboration between Yamada (director of Liz and the Blue Bird, A Silent Voice, K-On!, the upcoming The Colors Inside) and Science SARUa sequel to the 2021 television anime The Heike Story. The premise is described as follows:
Beer cans and whiskey glasses are placed in an open space on the floor. Although a bit messy, “your” room is filled with art supplies and an electric guitar lining the perimeter of the room. The alarm on your phone rings, and “You” slowly wakes up to start the day.
The anemone flower that “I” like. A precious flower that holds memories that bind “You” and “I” together. One day, after opening the wardrobe in your bedroom, “You” is immersed in memories of “I”. A story that represents “I”, “You”, “Childhood friend” and our goodbyes.
Yamada's next film The Colors Inside, also produced by Science SARU, will open in Japan on the same day as Memorial Garden.
